I recently had to adjust my AIM and ICQ accounts to not use SSL for
login. Have you checked to see if you're using SSL to login?

I'm using Pidgin 2.6.5, if you're not using it I would recommend an
update although it sounds like you're using a fairly recent version
(hopefully downloaded via http://www.pidgin.im/ ) so there shouldn't be
any issue there.
If any of your accounts are using SSL to login, disable that as there
seems to be some new issue with it (I've recently encountered it, as
stated above, so I think it's a protocol thing and not a Pidgin thing).
Not sure if you're on the list, CCing you if you aren't. Direct all
replies to the list, please.
